Excelsior Trolley

I've been wanting to do the Excelsior Trolley all summer and today my dream came true. It was even more fun because Eric came with us! We parked a little ways away from the loading area so we got to walk along to the tracks. It was a gorgeous low 70 degree day with a cool breeze.

The kids and the streetcar.

Putting our token in the token place (for lack of a better word!).

Emmett was loving it!!

Daddy and his kiddos in the 103 year old streetcar.

Then we walked around downtown Excelsior.

Back on the trolley to head to our car. This is a picture that includes my (almost) 39 week belly.

You are raising my awareness of historic things to do in Minneapolis. Looks like everyone had a blast!Emmett has great upper body strength, as I know from personal experience. Eisley, too, feels like such a special person. You are giving your children what child needs. Significance. TY

About Me

My mom often reminds me what her mother told her when she was a young mother with young children, "These are these are the best days of your life." Some days I totally agree and some days the thought brings me to tears.
Are these the best days of my life? We shall see. Years from now I look forward to going into my blog archives and seeing a glimpse into our life that will seem so foggy (or maybe so clear? I really have no idea).
I'm attempting to blog each day with a picture.
I became a wife to my hard working and loving husband 8 years ago.
I became Mom to 4 kids in less than 5.5 years. We love to build, read, go on field trips, sing, dance, wrestle, play at the park, do crafts and do laundry, to name a few. But most importantly, serve the Lord.

My son, Emmett

Emmett is a guitar playing, superhero underwear wearing, independent thinking, chocolate milk drinking, 2 wheel bike riding, puzzle assembling, "wild animal" admiring little rock star. He turned 5 in November. Not a day has gone by that I haven't asked myself, "How did I get so lucky?"

My daughter, Eisley

This little lady, Eisley, may be small in stature but makes up for it in personality. She keeps me on my toes! She was 3 in November and insists on doing this by herself, gives hugs that melt your heart, presents arguments like she's convincing a jury and studies you like she's got you all figured out. She's an absolute joy.

My son, Ender

Born September 6th, 2010 this delightlful one year old's joy is contagious. We once described him as mellow but we are now learning that he's got a little spice to him. We can just not get enough of him!

My son, Errol

The newest addition to our family, this darling boy arrived February 17th, 2012. When he's not being played with by his siblings he enjoys eating, sleeping and smiling. We're all head over heals in love!
